Folks, I see a good deal, I share. I'm not an expert on posting, and don't have time to provide much other info than:
Had great experience with this TCL TV as I had to get one for someone last year and its awesome! that price is a steal.
I'll buy this TV once my Sony TV breaks.
yeah.. if you like to watch talkshows than 50Hz is not enough.. You'll need 60Hz.
This tv has barely any reviews online and the spec list on TCL's own website is suspiciously light on details. I'm sure it's a fine tv but for the price I don't think it's a bargain.

"Movies are almost always filmed 24 frames per second, or 24Hz. Live TV shows at 30 or 60."
this link will help you learn more about refresh rates.
I mostly use 24Hz. What content is > 50Hz?
If you want to use a TV as a gaming monitor, say so, otherwise you come across as clueless about video frame-rate.
Good to hear you had a good experience with TCL, I bought one a couple of weeks ago, 43S625, hoping it has longevity.
The remote control of mine is a bit poor - slow, limited range.
Agreed, I think the remote can be improved. I got overwhelmed by the picture quality and forgot about the remote.
I purchased the Hisense 58" s5 last week from Jb-Hi fi listed for $595 and very happy with that… Non Android tv

I'm tossing up between this one and more expensive samsung.
How are you finding it? Have you tried gaming on it?
Seems like a better deal, although this is the budget Hisense range I believe?
then why is it called smart TV?
Because it has Hisense's propriety OS called Vidaa. It has Netflix, Prime, Stan, Youtube, etc. ; no Kayo or Disney +
It has built-in apps such as Prime, Netflix, Stan, Youtube etc but doesn't have the google play store (running its own software)
I bought the TCL 50P715 50" for $575, which has Google TV built-in. The newer P715 model might be worth it for the Google TV interface alone, also comes with a voice control remote.
howaaronic - Do you find the Android TV interface okay to use? I was worried about performance. Did you consider the model above PC715 ?
The performance is decent. I recently made a software update and I think apps and navigation are performing better than out-of-the-box.
Anything above P715 was out of my price range for this unit. If I were to spend more, I'd save for a QLED/OLED.
This comes with the Google TV interface, which places all your sources (Netflix, Disney, Prime, Kayo) in one interface. See here: Difference between Google TV and Android TV
I can't be certain if the P615 has been updated to the new interface, best to check in-store.
This is Android tv. not Google tv. Google tv is for 2021 and tries to integrate all your sources in a unified interface.
Not a bad price on this TV. I have been researching getting the model above this in 50" for my Mum 50P715 ($696 at JBHIFI but was going to pricematch Videopro price at $575).
Reviews I found for the P715's say its a good tv for the price. Was also considering the model above 50C725 for $100 more which has slightly better QLed screen. ($795 JB $660 Videopro)
New improved 725 models I think are due soon
50hz refresh rate. No thank you.
